Title: TDI intake + AAZ head
Post by: Smokey Eddy on September 15, 2008, 08:42:25 pm

Will a TDI intake fit with an AAZ head + garett t3 and 1.6TD exhaust manifold

I know the TDI intake has to be ported to line up nicely but other than that will it fit alright with the turbo and exhaust manifold?

i'm pretty sure the TDI intake is bolt on, as it has the same D shaped ports as the 1.9 IDI.  different story if you're using it on a 1.6 though.  not sure if it would accomodate the T3/K24 turbo though.

crap. I know it bolts on but im mostly concerned about a 1.6 exhaust mani being on there too and the T3 is a really big concern. I'm sure other people have done this though
Please someone chime in!

I successfully used a alh intake with t3 manifold!there is some grinding of the support holes on the back(they stick out),but those arent needed anyway.this was on a 1.6 though.I dont know of differences in the casting of the head.
